Hi all, greetings from Mumbai,India.!!
For the new generation’s likes me , barter system will be thing happens in history and blindly I can say that it happens in local guides program. 
The point I really want to convey is that the contribution I gave will surely benefits others and the contributions of our Local Guides will definitely benefits me. I beleive that local guide program creates a sharing mind that they actually do for free of cost. It’s all for the betterment of community where others can check their interests about a location/menu in a restaurant even without going. It’s easy to click a photo and upload a photo, but it shouldn’t be like that. Just capture the location at its maximum beauty,so that it really helps others. It’s happy to mention that some of the photos, reviews that I shared has getting good response and likes. I’m very much happy to say that as a local guide, I influenced 10 lac crowd for a single picture.
Apart from contributions, local guides program has proven that it can help a community at the time of natural disaster. Basically, I’m from Kerala, India and we witnessed two great floods in the last two years. With the help of co local guides in our locality,we were able to mark the updation of road blocks, location of relief camps opened in the locality,etc that created a huge impact on common people.
This is my story about me as a local guide.
Local guides program has inspired many and will continue to inspire many.
